The NBA MVP race is heating up as the playoffs near, with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić as the two clear-cut favorites. However, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst believes Jokić is nowhere near Gilgeous-Alexander in the race despite averaging more rebounds and assists per game.

With roughly five weeks remaining in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, the race for MVP is still up in the air. Barring injury, it's a two-man race between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić, but there are a lot of interesting debates to be hard for the positioning of players behind them.

Nikola Jokić moves ahead of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the top of the mix in an MVP Ladder filled with changes.

The two most recent NBA champions are playing well enough to reach the finals, and as we saw Sunday, it would be a compelling matchup.
